Description To Books The Lonely Hearts Hotel

With echoes of The Night Circus, a spellbinding story about two gifted orphans in love with each other since they can remember whose childhood talents allow them to rewrite their future.

The Lonely Hearts Hotel is a love story with the power of legend. An unparalleled tale of charismatic pianos, invisible dance partners, radicalized chorus girls, drug-addicted musicians, brooding clowns, and an underworld whose economy hinges on the price of a kiss. In a landscape like this, it takes great creative gifts to thwart one's origins. It might also take true love.

Two babies are abandoned in a Montreal orphanage in the winter of 1910. Before long, their talents emerge: Pierrot is a piano prodigy; Rose lights up even the dreariest room with her dancing and comedy. As they travel around the city performing clown routines, the children fall in love with each other and dream up a plan for the most extraordinary and seductive circus show the world has ever seen.

Separated as teenagers, sent off to work as servants during the Great Depression, both descend into the city's underworld, dabbling in sex, drugs and theft in order to survive. But when Rose and Pierrot finally reunite beneath the snowflakes after years of searching and desperate poverty the possibilities of their childhood dreams are renewed, and they'll go to extreme lengths to make them come true. Soon, Rose, Pierrot and their troupe of clowns and chorus girls have hit New York, commanding the stage as well as the alleys, and neither the theater nor the underworld will ever look the same.

With her musical language and extravagantly realized world, Heather O'Neill enchants us with a novel so magical there is no escaping its spell.

Weigh Up Of Books The Lonely Hearts Hotel

I was talking to a friend about this novel a few days ago, and following this conversation, I have to change my rating from 4 to 5 stars. Because I keep recommending it to everyone. Because I still think about it all the time over a year after I read it, because Pierrot and Rose and the way their story ended haunts me. So to Hell with the few editing lapses that annoyed me: when a book gets under your skin the way this one did, it deserves a full five stars and a spot on the favorites shelf.--

Library... ebook: My eyes were opened wide with my chest constricted The abuse - physical- emotional - and sexual - that takes place in a Montreal orphanage - during the 1930s, makes life for the orphan children in the musical Annie look like Disneyland in comparison. NO HOLDS BACK from author Heather ONeill......... BE WARNED: There is graphic sexual abuse between a young female nun and a pre-teen boy. BUT....besides the in-your-face details of sexual- forbidden - lust behind closed doors-

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK DID I JUST READ? And, I know youre probably thinking that Im being really fucking melodramatic right now, because I started out a review with yelling, but no seriously WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS BOOK? The Lonely Hearts Hotel is a disgusting, erotic portrayal of a bunch of fucked up shit; its not a powerful love story like the blurb will have you believe.Its my own fault that I read this, because its not like I shouldnt have known better from the moment the audiobook started. The

Sex, drugs andclowns? The Lonely Hearts Hotel is the newest novel by Scotiabank Giller Prize winner and bestselling author, Heather ONeill. Hotel follows on the heels of one of my favourite novels of ONeills, Lullabies for Little Criminals. In The Lonely Hearts Hotel, we are introduced to Rose and Pierrot- two orphans who grow up together in a Montreal orphanage during the Great Depression. Rose and Pierrot quickly bond over their love of performing- Pierrot is a piano prodigy with a love of

I've tried numerous times to find the right words to describe this book. But it's hard when the overwhelming feeling is always, I can't even!I wanted to photograph every sentence. I wanted to stuff it in my mouth or shoot it up directly into my bloodstream. It is marvellous, magical, wondrously imaginative. It makes me want to make love to Heather O'Neill's genius mind. The writing is nothing short of stellar. The story, which you can read about for yourself on the book jacket, is by turns sweet

I've read over a thousand books. None of them were like this one.And that, perhaps, is the biggest compliment that I can give a book at this point. Set in Montreal during the depression, this book is...hard to describe. It's not one of those that I would rush out and recommend to everyone, because it's not really an easy read. First off, it opens with the incestuous rape of a minor. It's mentioned almost offhand, in just a sentence or two, which could be offensive to most, but in this book it

This book is so dark and twisted, and it will leave you with a feeling of hopelessness and despair. But for some reason that's exactly why I loved it: Finally we get a story in which there is no happy ending in sight, and where you live in the darkness and cruelty of life and still manage to see glimpses of beauty. "The Lonely Hearts Hotel" is about Pierrot and Rose who are two orphans placed in the same orphanage. They are both very gifted artistically and they are both naturally drawn to each
